Glyphosate, pathways to modern diseases II: Celiac sprue and gluten intolerance
https://files.catbox.moe/sngabw.jpeg![]()
Characteristics of celiac disease point to impairment in many cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved with detoxifying environmental toxins, activating vitamin D3, catabolizing vitamin A, and maintaining bile acid production and sulfate supplies to the gut. Glyphosate is known to inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes. Deficiencies in iron, cobalt, molybdenum, copper and other rare metals associated with celiac disease can be attributed to glyphosate's strong ability to chelate these elements. Deficiencies in tryptophan, tyrosine, methionine and selenomethionine associated with celiac disease match glyphosate's known depletion of these amino acids. Celiac disease patients have an increased risk to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which has also been implicated in glyphosate exposure. Reproductive issues associated with celiac disease, such as infertility, miscarriages, and birth defects, can also be explained by glyphosate.
Glyphosate residues in wheat and other crops are likely increasing recently due to the growing practice of crop desiccation just prior to the harvest. We argue that the practice of “ripening” sugar cane with glyphosate may explain the recent surge in kidney failure among agricultural workers in Central America. We conclude with a plea to governments to reconsider policies regarding the safety of glyphosate residues in foods.

Propaganda? Or extremely sensitive laboratory equipment that is alleged to be able to detect single digit parts per billion.
A quick search for that didn't turn up anything credible.
There are no Roundup Ready genetically modified wheat varieties approved for sale or use in the US or Europe.
Roundup used as a dessicant to dry down a crop for harvest is approved, but it's expensive and rare. I've read that it may be more common in Canada because of their shorter growing season.
